Perspective from American - for a nice beer (pint) of craft beer in the US in most larger cities at least 7-8 dollars ($) per pour. Happy hour (Monday-Friday from 3 or 4pm to 5:30-6pm) can be $5 per pint but we also tend to tip $1 per beer (pint) -- so yeah tends to be a bit much. Whiskey maybe $9-$11 per drink. As the Euro appreciates you’ll be able to buy more in the USA. Cheers!
I'm an Irishman through and through and have passed my biblical three score and ten years. As part of my upbringing I was taught how to distill poteen or moonshine as it's called in other countries. In the early years I used peat to fire up the distillation process but the blue smoke gave my position away to the Gardai. I have been using bottled gas ever since and couldn't possibly meet those high prices in pubs.
When my father arrived in Canada in the '50s he had a visit from to police officers searching for the source of some "reported strong alcohol fumes." He invited them in to look around and they had a nice discussion on immigrating to Canada from Dublin versus Cork and how filling a roof exhaust stack with activated charcoal would make it much more difficult to track down which house was operating a still.
I'm watching this video from Florida having been reared in Galway all my life. Went to Uni in Cluain Mhuire. Not far from the estate at the start of your video.
@Corrky average price for a Cappuccino is around $5.50 fish and chips for two at a Fish and chips shop, 2 pieces of fish, chips , 2 prawn cutlets and 2 calamari $18-$22.
Cork man here, great video! Your channel name- I approve 😉😎🤣 my sister also married a Croatian man last year in Zagreb, it was unforgettable!! Fáilte romhat Corrky!
Welcome to our little TH-cam family Jack and thanks for the nice comment. The ould Irish ☘️ blends beautifully with Croatians🇭🇷 we do have good craic! 😅🫶🥰😄 Also, big fan of Cork, great spot!!
I don't mind paying $5-6 for a pint of a "good" premium beer here in the U.S.; however, "domestic" beers here (Labatt, Molsen, Bud, Coors, Miller) are typically much cheaper, $2-4.
I wish more people thought like you. €8.50 for a glass of wine in the suburbs of Dublin. I shop in Newry (£4.25 bottle of wine and no deposit on bottles and cans) and minimise trips to Irish pubs. If more did this we would see change but people are...
Here on the sunny wet coast of Canada, after all taxes and minimum mark-ups are calculated for the price of a whiskey is easy to calculate at 8.6 times the wholesale price at a minimum. So comparing the price list of my local Galway pub to my local Burnaby pub since they are both nice enough to have at least one whiskey in common. Galway 12 euro, Burnaby 24 euro.
@@Corrky ahhhhh yes…. But you see in Canada and the U.S.A it may cost the same while you’re out at a bar or nightclub. But the median income is much, much lower in Ireland. For Ireland 40 grand is quite a lot of pay yearly. Here in the U.S it’s poverty level if you only get paid that low yearly. In addition the amount of taxes in Ireland the government takes out of your pay is way higher than the U.S or Canada. So for the Irish that is a lot for them and not us @Spondre Sure in a nightclub in Miami it’s like $25-$30 so the same In Euro for a drink. But you leave the nightclub and for a professional job you’ll get paid $80,000 to $200,000 per year.
Prices for alcohol are considerably more in Canada. Easily pay $20 for a nice cocktail here. A can of Guinness in a store here is about $4 and it tastes s...t.
€12 for noodles!, what a joke!, can’t imagine they’ll stay in business for long with prices like that. I recently visited a restaurant in Kerry, their vegetarian Caesar salad was €15, the restaurant was empty, not a surprise!
I usually buy these litre bottles of Lithuanian beer they have in my local centra havent actually seen them anywhere else 4 euro and after 3 or 4 of those they definitely pack a punch especially if you mix between that and cider
€8.50 for a glass of wine in a Dublin suburban pub on Friday May 2024. I didnt have a second one. €3 in Spain with a Tapa of your choice. I guess they would rather you increase your carbon footprint. Everyone please boycott Irish pubs to force change.
Ireland is seriously overpriced and it’s not even a good place. Bad food, bad nightlife, terrible weather and bad women 😆. So many other places you could go in Europe for a quarter of the price and ten times better in terms of everything. Portugal, poland, Czech Republic , Croatia. Just to name a few.
You know I’m Croatian right? :) On US or Irish salary definitely, couldn’t agree more. It would be a wonderful place to live. But living on Croatian salary is not fun, trust me.
Cost of food in Ireland for those interested:

I would love to see that process once in my life :)

A lot of Florida viewers on the channel. Hopefully I’ll get to see it one day :)
A pint of Guiness in Australia costs around $10 AUD, a shot of whiskey will set you back around $12. A cocktail is anywhere from $16 - $22 aud..
That’s a lot!
@Corrky average price for a Cappuccino is around $5.50 fish and chips for two at a Fish and chips shop, 2 pieces of fish, chips , 2 prawn cutlets and 2 calamari $18-$22.
At a bar a shot of Tulamore Dew whiskey is $8 a shot but a bottle at the liquor store is about $28 750ml in America

Hopefully I will visit US sooner than later and try them all :)
It's crazy, in my day it was expensive for 1 night out but now I don't know how young people can afford it. You only look 30 Red Lady!
I honestly don’t know unless they all have at least part time jobs…
Thank you Jill 🥰 🙈
8€ for a wee dram of malt and 5,20€ for a pint that´s crazy....a cuppa for me then...
Agreed :)
😅I would highly recommend a nice cuppa tea.😝🙊🤌🏻🙈
I paid €6.40 for a pint of Guinness and €6 for a normal Jameson in Dublin last Sunday. I will be avoiding drinking in pubs.
Oh I believe you, it goes up to 8-9 euros for pint of Guinness in Dublin!
A bit Cheaper away from Dublin, at our local in Drogheda it's 4.80
That’s more like it :)

I found that in Northern Ireland it wasn't the price we worried about, we wondered where the feck to find it? lol.

Oh I agree completely. I can only dream of having 40 grand :)
Bravo napokon izgledaš normalno, a ne kao klošar sviđa mi se kanal a ova tvoja mala mi je top ženskica
Hahahaha, hvala na komplimentu 😂😂

Cans of Guinness should be forbidden by law. That will never be good anywhere, including Ireland.
Its the same as Dublin now.

It really can be crazy sometimes!

The cost of soft drinks in the pups is crazy. And to add injury to insult they are pup size. 220ml. Love the video.
Thank you!
New one is out today at 6pm (Irish time), stay tuned :)

Croatia? Is that a joke?
@@Corrky Well maybe on a US salary. But it’s still a lot cheaper compared to Ireland and other western nations. I’ve lived there for three months.
You know I’m Croatian right? :)
On US or Irish salary definitely, couldn’t agree more. It would be a wonderful place to live.
But living on Croatian salary is not fun, trust me.
@@Corrky Well maybe a Croatian salary yes. But still there are far better places than what Ireland has to offer.
Thats why we go there. €3 for a glass of wine in Spain with a tapa of your choice. €8.50 in a Dublin suburb with weather not of your choice.
You want alcoholics, come to Australia...lmao
Didn’t know that 😂😂
@@Corrky Hopefully moving to Limerick sometime between July and September. Should catch up for Dubliner..
Some of our finest Irish alcoholics migrated to Australia😅😅🤦🏼♀️
Like ❤❤
Dont waste time of people
